When you do something with a lot of honesty, appetite and commitment, the input reflects in the output.
The greatest truth is honesty, and the greatest falsehood is dishonesty.
The thing that I think a lot of guys need to know how to do is not take your mother's advice about honesty being the best policy. Listen to your cool, drunk uncle who tells you to lie. Those are the relationships that last.
I play my part in my films with utmost honesty.
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
'Heroes', 'Desperate Housewives', 'The Sopranos' - they're all very stylised. 'The Wire' is much more rooted in realism and honesty. In American television, I can't think of anything I'd rather have been in because it has got something to say and that is the kind of thing I want to do.
If you want honesty and love, you have to be honest and loving and loveable.
Superstars come and go. I want to make sure I am always a producer's actor. I may be refused to be called a great actor but I have never troubled any of my producers in my life. Honesty always catches the camera, and that is what my strength is.
Marriage requires searing honesty at all costs. I learned that from my third wife.
My approach is always the same. I try to be as honest as possible. Find the real honesty and humanity in the character because even a fictional character is supposed to feel real. And my job is to find that reality and bring it to the screen.
